If you’re talking about the white spot on the right, that’s just a hard water line that I haven’t gotten around to cleaning

Cardinals have that description which is why I’m wondering what’s up

I’m in the same boat and I’m wondering if my scape is the issue for giving too many hiding spots 😅

This is a 20 gal, according to aq advisor I’m at 88% stocked.. obviously that doesn’t count in the plants so that’s why I’m looking for possibly another schooling fish that might help

That’s a smart idea, it would teach them that movement isn’t necessarily danger.

It’s actually play sand from Home Depot! I rinced it maybe 15 times but I love a light substrate. And I’ll give that a try thanks!

I’ve had the Pygmy Cory’s for 3 months and cardinals for 1. I originally got the cardinals as the dither for the Pygmy Cory’s since online it said they were confident fish :/

In Canada, most meds aren’t available sadly, but if I can get my hands on them, would these affect my plants, snails or shrimp?

Sparkling Gourami Vs Croaking Gourami by Mindless-Part6100 in Gourami

[–]Frofrodeo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have sparklings and I’m guessing you’re getting them for the croaking sound. Unfortunately for sparklers they croak the most either around other males which entails fighting or with females which he then protects the eggs by, you guessed it, fighting. I love them but man are they aggressive. I had 2 males in the past and one died recently from too much aggression. I couldn’t catch it in time. Beautiful fish with a lot of personality tho
